Overview of the Aero Avante Mini 4WD AR Speed Spec
The Tamiya 18706 Aero Avante Mini 4WD AR Speed Spec Starter Kit delivers a race-ready platform for hobbyists who want aero performance and straightforward tuning. Its combination of the classic Aero Avante body and the AR chassis makes it well suited to straight-line speed and club racing setups.
Sculpted body for reduced drag
The Aero Avante body is a coupe-style shell molded in blue that borrows cues from real racing cars. The profile reduces air resistance and helps keep top speed stable, especially down long straights.
AR chassis - practical and durable
The AR chassis is designed for reliable performance and easy servicing. Built-in air intakes help cool motor and battery components, while low-friction plastic bearings reduce drivetrain losses so more motor power reaches the wheels.
Included upgrades and tuning options
This starter pack comes with race-oriented parts like a Rev-Tuned 2 motor, super hard tyres, and a brake set. It also includes side mass dampers and FRP plates for the front and rear to boost high-speed stability, giving a solid base for further upgrades.
Setup tips and track use
With a 3.5:1 gear ratio and aerodynamic bodywork, the model performs best on layouts with long straights. The snap-together assembly lets you make quick changes trackside, so you can fine tune gearing, tyre choice and roll characteristics to match conditions.
